> emit low radiation which is healthy for users.

Cellphones emit non-ionizing radiation. It doesn’t increase cancer risk, unlike x-rays and ultraviolet which in high energy levels are ionizing radiation.

The only side effect of getting exposed to non-ionizing radiation is heat. So maybe the advantage of having low radiation phones is that they have a lesser chance of burning your pocket or face. But no matter the cellphone radiation, that alone won’t cause cancer.

To be safe, as much as possible use the speaker phone, low SAR or not.
